about

Dale Cavanaugh Music, Boise, ID

Hello, thanks for looking at my profile.
     I am a retired music teacher but still love sharing music by performing live.  I do write my own songs and I really enjoy playing the music of the legendary John Prine and 1920's Traditional Blues classics.
     I have selections of 1920's style blues tunes from the works of Robert Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, Mississippi John Hurt, Leadbelly, Elizabeth Cotton and others.  My 1950's Stella parlor acoustic guitar, a 1944 S.S.Stewart acoustic and a Slack Key 12 String are guitars I use to bring out the most authentic renditions of these blues tunes.  
     John Prine is a genuine songwriter's songwriter—in that he's written the kind of songs other songwriters aspire daily to write. I thoroughly enjoy performing a wide variety of Prine songs for you.  His songs need to be heard more often.

     My performance can be a set of originals, a set of blues, and a set of John Prine songs.
     Of course, throw them together for variety music all day.
